Has anyone else been experiencing issues with the Samsung themes not applying to their lock screen?
I apply the theme of choice (tried several) through the Samsung themes settings/app. The theme changes on the pull down menu, messages app, etc. but does not change the lock screen clock or music player controls. Some online research says others are experiencing the same thing. Has anyone here been having this issue and/or found a solution?
Thank you for your time!

Not having that issue here, do you have AOD turned on and a theme that theme's AOD.

Thank you for the reply!
AOD is on, but with a custom image (my signature).
Full setup is:
Nova launcher with icon pack
Custom wallpaper on home and lock screen
AOD on with custom image
Theme applied (should be changing clock and look of clock on lock screen but is not)
Thanks again!

I'll bet it's because of Nova Launcher and not using TW, just a thought..

If you apply a custom wallpaper to both home and lock screen it erases the theme home and lock screen images. I am using Nova and have no issues. Sometimes I just use a custom home and leave the stock lock screen from the Samsung theme.
The clock on the lock screen changes but my Pandora music player remains the same.
I had that issue with the batman theme. the AOD theme option would be there after i applied the theme but if i changed the AOD to a different design, the option for the one that comes with theme would disappear. only fix would be to re apply theme
This works for me as well, but oddly enough, when setting a live wallpaper (just for home screen), the clock goes back to stock.
So frustrating.

I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schulermobile.puddledropsplus
Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).
Is there any application or mods to automatically change lockscreen wallpaper randomly every X minutes?
I have installed tasker but I don't know how to do this with tasker.
any help will be appreciated
Update: there is a live wallpaper that does that for lockscreen but the problem is the touchwiz lock screen dims the live wallpaper
Thanks
have you tried photo wall live wallpaper which is installed by default? you may have but it doesnt give you control over the time in which wallpaper will change

Thanks but photolive wallpaper changes lock screen wallpaper automatically?
Is there anyway to prevent lockscreen dimming the live wallpapers?
photowall changes wallpaper automatically for homescreen and lockscreen. Screen dimming is due to the circular lockscreen, if you want that changed you may have to edit framework or install a lockscreen app like widgetlocker

I'll try photowall
but widgetlocker can only show LWPs if the home screen has one set. I want it only on my lockscreen
Nevermind, I'm an idiot, expected to see these settings in the Lockscreen menu but they were in the Display.

Is anyone else having issues with this? I've tried changing my lockscreen wallpaper to several different images from my gallery but it always stays the stock one.
Edit: Found the fix. I had to clear the application defaults for QuickPic im pretty sure you have to use the stock Gallery app to crop your Lock screen wallpaper
When I try to add a zoomed widget in the same area as my weather widget, the weather widget was pushed off the screen and I can't get it back. Sure I can just try to make a new one but it's still running somewhere off the screen. Is there a way to list all widgets you have on screen? And delete them in that list? Or from a list default them to center of screen? I know the themer widgets can stack so why are they moving on their own? This is especially true if I try to edit a theme I download. As soon as I press configure or resize or add something the theme goes ape **** and everything just moves. Not using a custom dpi. Stock Rom galaxy note 3.

Hi vitessex,
We're not too sure how this happens, as testing it now reveals that a widget cannot push another one off the screen. However in your unlucky case, we suggest going into Themer's main settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Allow overlapping Widgets. This should then just cause the widgets to overlap instead of jumping around.
Which downloaded themes are causing this? Most new themes should have the overlapping widget setting enabled to prevent this issue.

It seems to do it with all the themes I have downloaded. And even happened on the one I am making myself. But currently I will show an example with the theme "Coordinate." The overlapping Widgets option is enabled and this is what happens when I add a widget or edit in any way really.

I see. There might have been a bug during installation. Try this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Let me know how this goes.

Find the Themes app, already on you phone, then open it, select either the Bazzar theme or the Bazzar_golden theme and then hit Apply at the bottom. (BTW you can customise the theme with different icon sets, wallpapers etc afterwards)
